Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, also
the co-owner of Kolkatta Knight Riders
team, invited the people to coach
his team and send in their suggestions
for improving the team’s performance.
Khan while speaking at the launch
of the "Main Bhi Coach"
programme in association with Nokia
India in Mumbai, said as follows,
"When we used to lose, I used
to get inundated with messages, mostly
suggestions. I feel sad when we lose,
but you have to take all those losses
with little bit of ease and a little
sense of humour and all those messages
and emails, I used to keep them."
"Keeping in mind peoples' habit
of giving suggestions, I decided with
the team of Nokia that this time we
will launch something which would
be called 'Main Bhi Coach' which would
officially give everyone a chance
to coach KKR and suggest what should
we do for our team," he added.
The Bollywood badshah said people
could messages to 9664555555, and
all these would be taken into consideration
and discussed with the team and the
coach to see if the ideas could help
in improving the team.
He said that decision of multiple
captains went wrong.
"It happens in sports...one team
wins and the other loses. I doesn't
mean that the team losing is lazy
or it doesn't want to win or it is
a bad team. When one team competes,
it competes to win. I won't say that
we didn't work hard. Maybe our decision
of multiple captains was not right,
we can find excuses but the bottom
line is that we worked hard, we played
very hard but not hard enough,"
he said.
The star also said, "We need
to play harder, we need to play tougher
and we need to win this."
Khan also commented over the controversy
deal with Lux Cozi, he said he had
kept it on hold as KKR members wanted,
because he doesn't want to hurt anyone
with his decision.
"We wanted to have lot of local
partners. If you have local partners
it's nicer. Legally, as a company
and in every way I thought it was
above board.... it made some people
unhappy and what happened over the
last six months, I truly believe that
lot of people love and support me
and I don't want to hurt anybody and
even our partners so we have kept
it on hold because that's what some
members in Kolkata wanted," he
said.
